Summary

GRIN2A (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A, HGNC:4585) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p13.2, encoding Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2A (Q12879). Component of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent block by Mg(2+). It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene encodes a member of the glutamate-gated ion channel protein family. The encoded protein is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit. NMDA receptors are both ligand-gated and voltage-dependent, and are involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie certain kinds of memory and learning. These receptors are permeable to calcium ions, and activation results in a calcium influx into post-synaptic cells, which results in the activation of several signaling cascades. Disruption of this gene is associated with focal epilepsy and speech disorder with or without cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Component of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent block by Mg(2+). NMDARs participate in synaptic plasticity for learning and memory formation by contributing to the slow phase of excitatory postsynaptic current, long-term synaptic potentiation, and learning. Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter L-glutamate to the GluN2 subunit, glycine or D-serine binding to the GluN1 subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by Mg(2+). NMDARs mediate simultaneously the potassium efflux and the influx of calcium and sodium. Each GluN2 subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, Ca2(+) permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators. Participates in the synaptic plasticity regulation through activation by the L-glutamate releaseed by BEST1, into the synaptic cleft, upon F2R/PAR-1 activation in astrocyte.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer. Forms heterotetrameric channels composed of two GluN1/zeta subunits (GRIN1), and two identical GluN2/epsilon subunits (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) or GluN3 subunits (GRIN3A or GRIN3B) (in vitro). Can also form heterotetrameric channels that contain at least two GluN1 subunits and at least two different GluN2 subunits (or a combination of one GluN2 and one GluN3 subunits) (in vitro). In vivo, the subunit composition may depend on the expression levels of the different subunits. Found in a complex with GRIN1, GRIN3A and PPP2CB. Found in a complex with GRIN1 and GRIN3B. Interacts with AIP1. Interacts with HIP1 and NETO1. Interacts with SNX27 (via PDZ domain); the interaction is required for recycling to the plasma membrane when endocytosed and prevent degradation in lysosomes. Interacts with PDZ domains of PATJ and DLG4. Interacts with LRFN2. Interacts with RPH3A and DLG4; this ternary complex regulates NMDA receptor composition at postsynaptic membranes. Interacts with SORCS2. Interacts with ARC; preventing ARC oligomerization. Interacts (via the extreme C-terminus) with FRMPD2 (the second PDZ domain); the interaction is direct and is likely to promote NMDAR-mediated neural signal transmission. GRIN2A binds FRMPD2 with lower affinity than GRIN2B.

Disease relevance. Epilepsy, focal, with speech disorder and with or without impaired intellectual development (FESD) [MIM:245570] An autosomal dominant, highly variable neurologic disorder. Features range from severe early-onset seizures associated with delayed psychomotor development, persistent speech difficulties, and intellectual disability to a more benign entity characterized by childhood onset of mild or asymptomatic seizures associated with transient speech difficulties followed by remission of seizures in adolescence and normal psychomotor development. The disorder encompasses several clinical entities, including Landau-Kleffner syndrome, epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and wave during slow-wave sleep, autosomal dominant rolandic epilepsy, intellectual disability and speech dyspraxia, and benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Rare genetic variations in GRIN2A may be associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech and behavior, cognitive impairment, and social withdrawal. A chromosomal aberration involving GRIN2A has been found in a family with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental defects. Translocation t(16;17)(p13.2;q11.2). GRIN2A somatic mutations have been frequently found in cutaneous malignant melanoma, suggesting that the glutamate signaling pathway may play a role in the pathogenesis of melanoma.

Activity regulation. NMDA glutamate receptor activity is inhibited by endogenous Mg(2+) in a voltage-dependent manner. NMDA glutamate receptor activity is inhibited by endogenous Zn(2+). NMDA glutamate receptor activity is inhibited by endogenous protons.

Domain organisation. Contains an N-terminal domain, a ligand-binding domain and a transmembrane domain. Agonist binding to the extracellular ligand-binding domains triggers channel gating. A hydrophobic region that gives rise to the prediction of a transmembrane span does not cross the membrane, but is part of a discontinuously helical region that dips into the membrane and is probably part of the pore and of the selectivity filter.

Similarity. Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR2A/GRIN2A subfamily.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 92 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
